Abstract
The top quark is the heaviest elementary particle ever discovered. As such it holds a special relationship with the recently-discovered Higgs boson and could be central to searches for physics beyond the Standard Model. I will highlight some of these measurements and describe in more details ATLAS measurements of differential top quark pair production cross-section as well as a novel analysis looking for CP-violation in b-hadron decays using top quark events.
